Jul 28, 2009 12 oz bottle from Founders. I love founders so its fitting that this is my 100 beer rating. Pours a dark orange color, almost brown. Aroma is very good I smell the alcohol, some barley, and some fruit hints. Taste sweet yet spicy. I’m feeling the alcohol in this one. It is very good.

Jul 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark red body with slight haze and some very fine carbonation or sediment. The aroma is strong alcohol, malt, fruit. The flavor is consumed by malt and fruit, however there is a noticeable presence of alcohol.

Jul 26, 2009 From a 12 oz bottle this poured a very rich and dark amber with an off-white head and lots of lacing. Mouthfeel very slick and oily. Flavor is of sweet malt, ripe fruit, alcohol, and earthiness. Reminds me a lot of Old Stock from North Coast. A very nice brew.

Jul 24, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a tulip glass. Pour was a hazy brown with rusty highlights. The head was thin and white, which dissipated rather quickly, and left a small amount of lacing. Nose is malt, yeast, bread, barely, dark fruit, and alcohol. Taste is malt, earth, yeast, and plums with a slight hop bitter in the wet finish. This is a very delicious beer, especially if you are a connoisseur of big/heavy dark beers. This has all the wonderful characteristics of those styles, yet doesn’t weigh you down quite as much. This would be a great compromise for the warmer months, provided it wasn’t too hot outside.

Jul 22, 2009 This is a nice beer. Although it says this version wasn’t barrel aged, I’d almost swear some wood was used somewhere along the way. There are some nice tannins and a woodsy flavor that offset the thick malt bill. Possibly one of the easiest drinking 9.8% beers, even though it punishes you along the way with the alcohol and the tannic/bitter nature. I’ll pick up another 4 pack of this.

Jul 22, 2009 Slightly haxy copper with a small ring of fine white bubbles. Aroma is loaded with caramel a bit of hops. Really dig the flavor... sweet caramel maltiness with an "American" hoppiness that makes it a bit barley winesque. Full but nto sticky mouthfeel. I likey...
